Research Direction 1: Synthesis and characterization of atomically precise nanomaterials with controlled nuclearity, intermetallic and high-entropy nanoparticles.
-
Well-defined nanoparticles
-
High entropy
-
Atomically dispersed nanomaterials
-
Atomically precise control
-
Self-assembly

2 conversion into value-added chemicals and fuels
Research Direction 2: CO-
Novel nanostructure tuning reaction pathway and selectivity
-
Flow cell-based (photo)electrochemical device and in-operando spectrstudy

Research Direction 3: Atomically precise catalysts for electrochemical conversion of biomass model compounds
-
Hydrogenation reaction to convert biomass into valuable chemicals
-
Selective oxidation of polyols (such as glucose) to acid
